“Love is a condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.” — Robert A. Heinlein
If you’re reading this article, you’re probably in a long-distance relationship.

Each evening, you count down the days until you are together again.
Every night, you fall asleep on the phone listening to their soothing voice.
You’re in love and have incredible visions for the future. Even though you are far apart, the unified bond within your relationship brings you closer.
You are unbreakable.
